What prevents mainstream evolutionists teaching the whole truth about how genomes evolve?
J Shapiro, D Noble - Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology, 2021 - Elsevier
The common belief that the neo-Darwinian Modern Synthesis (MS) was buttressed by the
discoveries of molecular biology is incorrect. On the contrary those discoveries have …
